As the Chilli Peppers have world domination when it comes to FunkPunk it would seem that other soundalikes have failed to contribute music with equal excellence. This is not a problem when it comes to the Infectious Grooves. With stunt guitarists and a bass sound from the deepest bowels of funk, these guys should have found their way to anyones stereo, though sadly, they have been rather overlooked. True to their genre they play an almost rapid crossing between hardrock and funky licks, all with elements of humour lead by their spokesman Sarsippious. This gives the album that is filled to the brim with prestige, an even more likeable atmosphere.

I'll make this short and sweet: GET IT, IT'S ONLY $4.00!! Being a big fan of Suicidal at the time, I've had this since it came out in 1991. I hadn't listened to it for years, even though I knew it was really good. Well, today I resurrected it, and holy moly it's really good. Super bass funkiness, catchy hooks, addictive riffs, sing-a-long refrains...maybe that doesn't sound good but it really is! And funny too. Like I said, this is a lost gem in my collection.

If you dig the combination of metal and funk, this cd is for you! A humerous, driving, funky recording! A rare recording where the melding of styles works very well for the most part. Also this recording is better than Groove Family Cyco so buy it first.

this cd is pretty good. my favorite song is infectoius grooves. if you like dial-7, 2skinnee j's, 311, the urge, and shootyz groove get this cd.

You take Funk, Blues infuenced metal, and thrash. Mix in Humor and a character known as Sarsippius. You then have this great CD. This album I feel is a groundbreaking CD for groups that need/want to expand the styles of Heavy Metal seen today that you can thrash/Dance to and have fun while also maintaing a dark lyrical content. If you buy/like this disk please spread it word of mouth. I have turned 5-10 freinds on to it and they laugh at most metal. How Limp Bizkit can sell over 2 million units of significant other and this I think wend gold only I will never understand.

You don't have to be a fan of Suicidal to dig this band. Their grooves are original and jamming! I have nothing but positive comments for their efforts. A hybrid of funk and metal - with a bit of humor spliced within.

Uauuuu... that's funky man! Funk with heavy riffs. Funny and mostly: groovy!!!!
In my opinion Sarssipius Ark's is better (the sound quality and mix is better).
Try to hear "Feed the monkey" or "Stop funk'n with my head". Yeah!! I like it so much!!!!!
I think all Infetious Grooves CDs are excellent. Buy them if you like funk, metal distortion & riffs and a "bass in your face" sound.

What happens when you take the bass virtuosity of Rob Trujillo (ex-Suicidal Tendencies, later joined Metallica), the vocal stylings of Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies), multiple guest drummers (including Stephen Perkins of Porno For Pyros and studio drummer Josh Freese of Vandals and A Perfect Circle fame), and even more guest guitarists and miscellaneous instrumentalists, throw them into a blender on the 'puree' setting with a gallon of funk and a few quarts of punk/metal?

You get Infectious Grooves.

It's funky, it's rocking. It makes you dance and it makes you bang your head. That's what Infectious Grooves is all about.. groovin' and rockin'.

The strongest element of the album, naturally, is the incredible bass work of one Rob Trujillo. Rob shows his true colors on this album, always laying down the solid groove and occasionally stepping outside of the pocket to display incredible work with both the left and right hands. The guest guitarists on the album are all of a high level of musicianship. The title track has an incredibly sick-sounding guitar solo that is usually only heard amongst the likes of talent such as Steve Vai or John Petrucci.

The only downfall of the album is that Mike Muir has never been what I would consider a "good vocalist". He is, however, very fitting to the Infectious Grooves sound. The songs are all humorous, both musically and lyrically. Muir does a great job of keeping you laughing, whether it is his classic funk "Hey hey hey's" or the ridiculous lyrics ("You lie.. and yo breath stank.. smells just like.. a septic tank.") The skits, may I add, are amusing the first time around but the novelty quickly wears off. I was also a bit irked that the album ended with a skit track as opposed to an actual song.

If you like funk and are open to experimentation, I highly recommend this album. Being an individual who has an undying love for both funk and metal, this album is extremely appealing to me.

I reiterate.. HIGHLY recommended.

This cd is great, a cross between metal and funk. Mike Muir and Robert Trujillo, both of Suicidal Tendencies really wrote some
good songs on this album. I loved it in 91', and I still love it, I'm glad I could find it to buy.If you like metal and funk then you need to buy this.

they need to release this ands sarsuppius's ark in a two cd set one for the songs and disc two for the comedy interludes.
first this is a colmination of suisidal tendencies mike muir and robert trijulio,excel adam seigel,and janes addiction perkins members this is their chance to do some different music funky jams.this is an original and fun cd full of great song that would not fit in their collective bands.
